Patent number: 6123530Abstract: A scroll-type compressor includes a front housing, a rear housing, and stationary and movable scrolls engaging with each other to define a plurality of compression chambers therebetween. The stationary scroll is connected to the rear housing to define a discharge chamber therebetween. The stationary and movable scrolls are provided between the front and rear housings so that the movable scroll moves along an orbiting path. A drive shaft extends through the front housing and is drivingly connected to the movable scroll. The rotation of the drive shaft moves the movable scroll along the orbiting path to shift the compression chambers from the periphery to the center of the scrolls with the volume of the chambers reducing. A slider plate, substantially in the form of a ring, for providing a sliding surface for the movable scroll, relative to the front housing, is disposed between the front housing and the movable scroll.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignees: Denso Corporation, Kabushiki Kaisha Toyoda Jidoshokki SeisakushoInventors: Kenji Nakazawa, Yoshitaka Akiyama, Yuuji Yamamoto, Yasushi Watanabe, Izuru Shimizu, Masao Iguchi

Patent number: 5124769Abstract: The thin film transistor comprises source and drain regions, a channel forming region formed between the source and drain regions, a first (main) gate for turning on or off the transistor, and in particular at least one second (sub-) gate for reducing turn-off leakage current. When the n-channel transistor is turned off, for example, a negative voltage is applied to the main gate to form a p-channel layer in the channel forming region under the main gate and a positive voltage is applied to the subgate to form an n-channel layer in the channel forming region under the subgate, for instance, so that a pn junction can be formed between under the main gate and the subgate to reduce the turn-off leakage current. The above-mentioned disclosure can be clearly applied to p-channel transistors. Further, the above four-terminal transistor can be simply modified to a three-terminal transistor by connecting the main gate to the subgate via a diode or a capacitor or by directly connecting the drain region to the subgate.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1991Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Keiji Tanaka, Kenji Nakazawa, Shiro Suyama, Kinya Kato
